Fold5 - Oval plastic portion?

[ironass]

See the Jerry Rig, "Samsung Z Fold 5 Durability Test!", video below.

At around 2' 58" in the video it shows an, "oval plastic portion for the 5G antenna".

Checked my international Fold5 model, F946B D/S, and it does not have this oval plastic portion in the frame.

Is this a peculiarity of some Fold5 minority variants?

Oh yeah, it's the guy who puts a lighter and nail to the phone screen. I can't think of a more stupid test.

Yeah! Makes me cringe, too!

The question seems to have been answered. The oval plastic portion that is embedded in to the frame above the volume rocker buttons is a peculiarity of the U.S. models, F946U and F946U1, to accommodate the mmWave 5G antenna for their networks.

I unsubscribed from that channel, when I saw he was promoting and glamourizing zombie knives.
